Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Non “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses all of its textile offcuts.
  • It uses recycled packaging.
  • It recycles water to reduce water use in its supply chain.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Non “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.
  • It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Non “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Non “Good” overall.
